On the courses in each degree: Even though the courses I took for Big Data are completely different from what I see now, my previous work was accepted by Unimarconi to fulfill the coursework requirement for the degree. I have the option to redo them and get new grades on the Unimarconi transcript. I did not receive a direct answer as to whether convalidating the credit from my ENEB degree will result in getting the same grade I got at ENEB or if it will say "conv" or "exempt" or "transfer" or something similar, so I asked again. The default option is to go with the convalidation. You will have to let academy know you want to redo the courses for new grades. It is more important to me for my transcript to be usable for further academic study than it is to get out of 150-160 pages of writing. It sounds like everyone here shares that opinion.
On the final project: It was confirmed that what we see now is THE final project and there isn't a separate 12,000 word thesis that will need to be done later. The part about the thesis being 12,000 words has been removed from the sales page. Based on conflicting email responses over the last week there appears to have been a miscommunication about something between ENEB and Unimarconi which is now resolved.
On the comprehensive exam: You have to finish all of the modules if they don't transfer/you are choosing to redo them and complete the final project before you will be able to take the comprehensive exam. You will make an appointment to take the exam and there are no dates available at this time. It is expected to be available sometime next year. The wording used gave me the impression that the comprehensive exam is given and proctored by Unimarconi directly and Unimarconi is still making the final decisions/preparations for it.
I got the same type of confirmation today. I had asked to get my 6-course exemptions removed so I can get fresh new grades for the best possible transcript outcome.
My understanding is that the Exam validates the grades instead of overriding them, and it did sound like it's some kind of live proctored exam. They did say before that we can "use our notes".
The Master's Final Project is what it is, but it's not that much difference between 18 pages (9,000 words) versus 24 pages (12,000 single-spaced). It's still very much respectable graduate-level work
What's not 100% clear is, if there will be a transcript from Unimarconi. I will follow up and ask ENEB that next and update
